I would love to see search engines start putting sites
like this on permanent blacklists, and then publicizing and
sharing their blacklists with other search engine vendors.
(a la RBL for email spam, http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/ )

It would probably take a fair bit of human effort to research
and verify which sites are doing this though.

That's not a scam, just a nice side effect of the way their
ranking algorithm works. :)

This is what happens when you start writing something, then you change
your mind, try to cancel your mail and press 'y' without reading the
